But it's possible to develop the huge compassion of the bodhisattva: the enthusiasm and confidence to never give up working to help others.

The understanding of the existence of past and future lives is a very important topic in Buddhism since it is the basis for understanding karma and its results. If there were no past and future lives, then it would not be possible to talk about higher rebirths (rebirth as humans or gods) or definite goodness (the attainment of liberation and enlightenment). For example, the cultivation of bodhicitta, the mind aspiring for enlightenment, relies on recognising all beings as one's mothers, over...
